Event Description

Local Coffee Roaster Tasting & Latte Art Battle to the Death!

Another chance to rub elbows with your fellow Puddletown coffee kids. We'll be throwing down slick pours and tasting beans from local roasters*

Thanks to Sunshine Dairy for their generous donation of super sexy milk.

*If you are a roaster and you'd like your beans to be sampled at this event, please get in touch with me.

January,
are you ready for your future. I can see it now. Mother of all PDX throw downs and tasting events. Heck with the seating capacity what is the building weight load...?<];^)

Consider an ex-Starbucks 4-group La Marzocco Linea. It's the cheapest way into La Marzocco, and you can get away with less than $5000 easy. And you'll discover why you wanted a La Marzocco two years down the line.

Make your own. Cold brew in a Toddy or similar system. Dissolve in it an equal amount of sugar by weight. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Try to accomplish this without heating the syrup. It may take a lot of stirring on your part. Wh…
